  • Raising the age of retirement is because the population is getting older and healthier. Another issue where USA is failing compared to basically the rest of the world.
    There are many countries with less than half the wealth of USA that have better life expectancy and where people are more healthy at higher age.
    Denmark is among the most notable on retirement age, increasing it to 70 over the next decade.
    And Denmark is probably among the least fascist countries in the western hemisphere. Nazism is legal here, so they are not specifically hiding, and police and media know where they are headquartered, and we only have about a handful of them.



  • Kind of Ironic this is made in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Considering Trump also abandoned Ukraine, despite USA promised to support Ukraine for giving up their nukes, in case of an invasion.
    IDK about others, but I’m maintaining a hard boycott of American goods, including goods made in EU buy American owned companies.
    Just today I bypassed Coca Cola and bought the “cheap” local brand instead, despite Coca Cola was on special offer at a VERY low price way below the local brand.
    Coca Cola has been on sale for at least 3 months straight, at a price just below the local brand!
    I’ve also seen Californian wine on special offer for 1½ month in our local supermarket, such special offers are usually 1 week maximum.
    Lots of American brands are discounted almost constantly, Heinz and Palmolive basically EVERY time I’m at the supermarket, but with different products.
    Turns out our main brands of conditioner although they have local names and are made in France, are also owned by American companies! But I found a good European brand at our local hardware store of all places.
    I hope many Europeans are making at least some effort to avoid American owned and American made goods. Personally I’m 95% all in. For instance we also sold our American stock. If there is an alternative, American is simply no longer an option.
    One thing I can’t replace is Steam. I use Linux, and Steam just makes it so goddam easy to run games in Linux. Some of the games are American too, but ONLY because they are good companies, I do NOT play games from Blizzard or EA and the likes of them.
